Just realised that Christmas drinks followed by a morning run aren't compatible. ☹

Please don't mention staying hydrated - my legs were screaming that at me all the way round 😒

Lessons are there to be learned... every day is a school day! πŸ‘πŸ»πŸ€£

I hope the party was worth it 😊

A good night with old friends, nothing better, thanks.

As a retired teacher, I was rather hoping everyday was no longer going to be a school day. I've had thirty years of those. πŸ˜‰πŸ˜‚

Oops best lessons are when you do something wrong rather than told something. Hopefully you'll have a speedy recovery

Thank you. Shower and breakfast and I'm as right as rain.

It's officially Christmas Jumper Saturday amongst my girlfriends. That involves mooching round the shops, prosecco and Pizza Express. Don't think I'll be running tomorrow morning either. πŸ˜‚

I realise I've made myself sound like an alcoholic. I can go months during the year without drinking and it feels good. So all power to you. 😚

Haha, not at all, this year I have had a few dry months, I suppose my aim is to be more dry than not

At least you got out. I had a Christmas party last night and optimistically set my alarm for Parkrun this morning but just couldn't get out of bed!
